I installed factions and it downloaded 400mb in the first 3 areas + update before loading
I'm still playing every night, getting closer to 3 years now. The population has dropped quite a lot over the last few months... 
Some of my members have dropped by the way side, not logging on, leaving due to inactivity... so I haven't really bothered recruiting again since 'active' means different things to different people. It is hard to find good Officers too, that will help to grow the guild. I have had quite a few and after promotion and the initial promises of "Yes, I will grow this Guild gud" they never deliver and end up leaving / demoted / kicked. Nothing in life is free, you have to put in some effort and work for it.
And real life gets in the way of activity sometimes
So, I really only have the older members in the guild, that came from our previous guild. We are 10 members now. There was 40+ at some stage. I never intended to have a huge guild anyway. I created the guild for similarly-minded people, with the same goals, expectations, etc. Size doesn't mean anything, since it was basically 2 of us that maintained 2 million Luxon faction and we are still part of the 2nd biggest alliance on the Luxon side.
The guys that are still playing are mostly title hunting and getting some leet items, filling HoM for GW2 and doing the elite stuff. We will most likely do an UW / DoA clear soon. And farming of course.
I have to take some of my other chars through some of the campaigns as well. I like being thorough. So there can be (and still are) lots of things to do.
Some comments on some of the posts that have been made:
Yes, people still play Factions... some more than others
Yes, you can play GW even on 56k - GPRS, EDGE, HSDPA, 3G, ADSL384+, iBurst all work too. GW is good in this regard.
Updates after an initial install is large, I would say close to 500MB if not more, due to so many changes being released after the CD/DVD's were written.
I can put a copy of my .dat somewhere if someone is looking for it? It is a complete image of all the updates - 3.8GB in size. I have all campaigns, the expansion and the BMP.

I make a backup of my GW.dat file monthly just in case - since I'm on a 3G contract I don't want to have to go through all the downloads - it'll be murder.
My guild's got about 12 members, but I'd say only about 7 of them are active at the moment. Mostly farming and working through the campaigns as well - I've only been playing for 9 months now.

Are you in a alliance?
If you are not then you can join ours, we have a spot or two left
Well, we are ... just I never see any of them online ... are you guys Luxon or Kurzick?
If you're Luxon, I might just consider it
Lol, you are in luck as we are luxon
Whats your Ingame name?
Mine is Anexia hexal.
My main character is Makie of the Mists - female dervish. I'm online with her most of the time.
My time is going to be a little bit limited over the next two months or so though - got exams coming up so its going to be at most an hour or two every night. But I'll still be on every night.
